A Comparison of the Effectiveness of Forward and Backward Chaining Procedures with Retarded Children
… available to indicate the conditions under which backward chaining procedures are most effective. This study compared the effectiveness of backward and forward chaining procedures with retarded children on a telephone dialing task. Procedure. Four retarded children were taught to dial telephone …

Scalable Reasoning for Knowledge Bases Subject to Changes
… commonly used in first order logic: forward chaining and backward chaining. As a general rule, forward chaining is a good method for a static knowledge base and backward chaining is good for the more dynamic cases. The goal of this thesis was to design a hybrid reasoning architecture and …

Expert systems for disaster forecasting warning recovery and response in water resources management
… evaluates the relative benefits of forward and backward chaining inferential logic in these scenarios. Based on the outcome of the conceptual systems, we develop three complete backward chaining expert systems, respectively. With extensible knowledge bases combined with the information provided …

A Rule Based Expert System Framework for Small Water Systems
… use, both data-driven questions (forward chaining) and goal-driven questions (backward chaining) need to be supported. Similarly, an avenue to update rules in the system as and when they change without major recompilation should be available. In this thesis we present an expert system …

The development of an expert systems approach to the statistical analysis of experimental data
… The prototype uses a combination of forward and backward chaining to process the rules. Information required by the system can come from the user, the data or the rules. The overall system design also includes facilities for entering and editing data, altering and adding knowledge and a report …

Mechanics of Stimulus & Response Generalization in Signal Detection & Psychophysics: Adaptation of Static Theory to Dynamic Performance.
… These findings provide some support for a backward chaining account of the acquisition of signal detection performance. An attention-augmented behavioral detection model accurately described the acquisition data; however parameter estimates expressing the probability of attending to sample …

Integrating Expert System and Geographic Information System for Spatial Decision Making
<p>Spatial decision making is a process of providing an effective solution for a problem that encompasses semi-structured spatial data. It is a challenging task which involves various factors to consider. For example, in order to build a new industry, an appropriate site must be selected for which …
